There has never been a female director who has won an Oscar. There has only been one woman who won at the Cannes Film Festival.
I always go to the Cannes Film Festival and it's just such a glamorous time.
When I graduated from Brown after majoring in women's studies, I made my first PBS documentary, 'Women of Substance.' My first feature documentary was called 'American Hollow,' which I did for HBO and was at the Sundance Film Festival.
The whole being-in-a-room interview thing, at a junket or a film festival, is very inhuman. You meet the person, have five or 10 minutes to talk, and it's not like a conversation.
So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?
I went to the Tokyo Film Festival in Japan because I love Japanese cinema.
I got nominated for my second film as best young director in the Aikido Film Festival in Japan.
I don't really expect much from my life. So when I heard my films are premiering in film festival circuits I was glad of course but I thought it was lucky accident.
'Slumdog' initiated a chain of events like going to Cannes and being invited to the Cairo Film Festival, which changed my perspective of cinema and of being an actor forever.
